For graduates with a computing or quantitative background who want a credit-bearing AI qualification for €360. The HEA subsidy makes 15 postgraduate credits unusually cheap, and it's mostly online. The caveats: the award is from a UK university, rated comparable to NFQ Level 9 rather than on the Irish framework, you need some programming, and applications close 6 November 2026. For an Irish university option, see the UCD Machine Learning and AI micro-credential.
Twelve-week online postgraduate micro-credential (15 credits) awarded by the University of East London and offered in Ireland with HEA funding. Covers AI history and types, mathematical modelling, algorithms, ethics and applications in business, healthcare, government and education. Includes an induction day and Saturday sessions.
